Wrong -- nothing is "theirs". They live in a society, not in an inhabited island or a jungle. And they become rich thanks to the rules we, as a society, put forth and are following. If those rules were different, the same person could have ended up at the bottom of the social ladder, and poor as a church mouse!
think of w2hat you just said.
They became rich thanks to the rules we as a society put forth and are following.
So?
Good for them. The rules worked well for them.
Yes, good for them, not good at all for the rest. That is why we should change the rules, to make the outcome more equal.
If you lost at a game of monopoly, would you frown on the winner who simply followed the rules?
Nobody is being frown on for following rules. If the outcome is not satisfactory, we change the rules.
Would you suggest a rule change?
Yes, and that's what liberals are doing -- suggesting a rule change. Not the Monopoly rules, the rules that govern the income distribution in the real life*
* i'm talking about the tax code, what were you thinking?..
So you want to elect people to rob people for you. What you are proposing is unconstitutional you can't tax people just because you think they make too much money. Read Article one section 8, it tells you the reasons for which the government is allowed to tax.
